While you certainly can, isn't it a bit excessive to update so frequently? Remember, it's not just fetching the sources and ports, you must also compile world _and_ ports if you want to stay current. I highly doubt that you want to do this twice a day, even on a very fast machine. And if you don't compile twice a day, it may be better to keep sources (and ports) with the installed binaries in sync. Just in case you need to investigate security breaches or buggy programs -- then you'll be glad to have the _corresponding_ sources available instead of some sources for binaries you have not installed yet. > Thanks.
